U2542A Datasheet, PDF (2/14 Pages) Keysight Technologies – U2500A Series USB Modular Simultaneous Sampling Multifunction DAQ Devices

Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. U2500A Series USB modular simultaneous sampling multifunction
data acquisition (DAQ) devices are high-performance modules that consist of three models – the
U2531A, U2541A and U2542A. The U2500A Series has up to four channels with resolutions of 14-bit
and 16-bit. The U2531A can sample up to 2 MSa/s for each channel with a resolution of 14 bits,
while the U2541A and U2542A can sample up to 250 kSa/s and 500 kSa/s for each channel
respectively with a resolution of 16 bits.

Various features of the U2500A Series
– Quick and easy USB setup
– High sampling rate of up to 2 MSa/s for each channel
– Dedicated analog-to-digital (ADC) that allows simultaneous sampling of data
– Flexible standalone or modular capability that enables lower startup cost
– SCPI and IVI-COM supported with a wide range of ADE compatibility that minimizes work time
and increases software choices
– Easy-to-use application software and command logger function for easy SCPI command conver-
sion into snippets of VEE, VB, C++, and C# code
High sampling rate of up to 2 MSa/s
The U2500A Series provides a high analog input sampling rate coverage of up to 2 MSa/s for each
channel. The high sampling rate coverage offered is ideal for transient signal applications such as
sonar analysis.
Simultaneous sampling of data
The U2500A Series has dedicated ADCs that
enable simultaneous signals acquisition, which
makes the U2500A Series suitable for your
phase-sensitive applications.
